However, knowing that this was a life-and-death moment, Lu Xuyang refused to let go of Xi Yue’s hand even if it hurt.
Ouyang Haoxuan bit the Red Lotus Sword in his mouth and embraced Hexi in his arms. With his nearly depleted spiritual power frantically circulating within, he barely managed to stabilize their plummeting bodies.
Hexi raised her head and saw Ouyang Haoxuan’s body covered in wounds, as well as the depleted spiritual energy surrounding him. Her voice became hoarse as she said, “Ouyang Haoxuan, don’t worry about me, just make sure you survive!”
The next moment, Ouyang Haoxuan’s spiritual power was exhausted.
However, he didn’t seem to hear Hexi’s voice at all. He threw out the golden silk, one part tied to himself, and the other part wrapped around Hexi’s wrist.
Then, the remaining hand suddenly let go, grabbed the Red Lotus Sword, and plunged it into the cliff.
The blade of the sword, as it cut into the cliff, made a sizzling sound and sent sparks flying. However, it halted the falling momentum of the three people.
Ouyang Haoxuan lowered his head, his dark eyes seeming bottomless. Yet, when he looked at Hexi, there appeared to be a gentle tenderness spreading softly. “Xi Yue, don’t forget, you still have Nangong Yu, your recent marriage, and your future. What you’ve lost, you can always regain one day. Dying alongside such a scum is not worth it.”
Hexi was momentarily stunned, almost forgetting to operate the Maha Inheritance. Tears slowly welled up in her eyes.
Nangong Yu, indeed, she still had Nangong Yu.
If she died like this, Nangong Yu would be so sad and desperate!
Moreover, the remains and souls of Gu Liufeng and the others were still there. Little Egg and Xiao Chi were just in deep slumber, not completely dead. Even the disappeared Sealed Dragon Domain might reappear in some corner of the world.
She refused to die here. Her hopes, her aspirations, even though faint and distant, had never been met with despair.
Hexi closed her eyes tightly and was about to speak. Suddenly, Ouyang Haoxuan, who was holding the Red Lotus Sword in one hand, looked horrified.
The next moment, Hexi felt a powerful force that seemed to tear her body in half from under the cliff.
“Ah! Help! I don’t want to die! I don’t want to die!” Lu Xuyang screamed in horror, even more panicked than when Hexi dragged him into free fall.
Hexi lowered her head and looked down, only to see a huge vortex appearing under the originally dark and bottomless cliff.
In the vortex, there were surging flames, rolling magma, and a sea of lava that could burn and obliterate a person, much like Red Lotus Hell Fire.
“What is this?” Hexi exclaimed.
No one could answer Hexi’s words. However, all three of them knew that if they fell, they would definitely die.
The Red Lotus Sword was stuck in the cliff, but it kept shaking uncontrollably, with bits of rocks falling, quivering and trembling, as if it couldn’t hold on any longer.
Hexi no longer cared about swallowing the spiritual power Lu Xuyang cast. She flicked her hand and said loudly, “Little Purple—!”
Purple vines soared into the sky, climbing toward the top of the cliff, and wrapped around a sturdy rock to stop her from falling.
Hexi grabbed Purple Abyss Vine, grabbed Ouyang Haoxuan with her backhand, and said in a deep voice, “Hold on to me! Little Purple, take us up!”
Purple Abyss Vine received the order and desperately clung to the support. However, the suction force coming from below was growing stronger. The massive rocks also made cracking sounds as if they were about to shatter.
